The Rank of Teaching and Learning Deen

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول الدنيا ملعونة ملعون ما فيها إلا ذكر الله وما والاه وعالما ومتعلما  رواه الترمذي وابن ماجه والبيهقي وقال الترمذي حديث حسن (الترغيب والترهيب 1/125)

Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “The entire world is cursed and whatever it contains is also cursed (on account of it distracting one from Allah Ta’ala and the Hereafter) except for the remembrance of Allah Ta’ala and what is joined to it, and except for the Aalim (one who imparts the knowledge of Deen) and the muta’allim (the one who learns Deen).”
